This is a smooth and creamy wine made from our premium Chardonnay block on the estate. Aromas of golden apple and bosc pear reveal confectionery caramel, toasted meringue, and brioche flavors on the palate. We suggest enjoying this wine paired with pan seared rock fish with lemon butter.
The grapes for this wine come from 9 acres on our estate in Santa Ynez Valley. Situated at 1,000-foot elevation, this west facing, gently sloping vineyard is comprised of gravely, sandy loam soil from sedimentary oceanic rocks containing limestone and shale, ideal soil for growing our Chardonnay because of its permeable qualities. During the growing season, the fog sits right on top of our vineyards, creating desirable, cool foggy morning weather, with diurnal temperature swings of 50 degrees.
